PET SPOTLIGHT
Loretta
Loretta likes to sleep in cat beds and play quietly. Being a shy kitty, she is often overlooked by folks coming to adopt because they may not see her and she is not in the habit of seeking people out for attention. But beautiful Loretta is not to be missed! She is a friendly, gentle girl that minds her own business, and isn't demanding. Being a young girl she still has her curious kitten nature and is thrilled to find small coil toys that she can bat around endlessly. Loretta and her sibs came to the shelter as kittens and one by one got adopted, leaving Loretta still looking for the right person. This sweet girl needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. Perhaps that's you?
Description: White, dark grey, black. Easy to care for short coat.
Age: approx 3 years of age.
Likes: Playing with small coil toys. Having her neck scratched and face petted.
Needs: Probably needs a quiet home with no small children. She currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
Dawn
Dawn is a longer haired, black, female kitty who is on the young side- perhaps 2-3 years. She has a thick, fluffy coat of all black fur, a black nose and big, beautiful, golden eyes. Dawn will need regular brushing to keep her coat tangle free. She is a very sweet girl who likes to be held and petted. She also has a bit of a sassy side too. This beautiful gal is ready to find her perfect forever, indoor home.
Furrby
UPDATE-Adopted! Furrby is a med-long haired, female tabby cat about 1 year of age. Her silky coat is mostly brown, with black striping throughout and some cream highlights around her mouth, eyes and chin. Furrby is an adorable gal that enjoys lounging, eating wet food and being petted. She can be a chatter box when the mood strikes! She likes pampering, which works out well as her longer coat will need regular brushing/combing to stay tangle free. She’s looking for her forever, indoor home.
Gemma
Gemma is approximately 8 years of age. A soft, medium coated Tabby. She's a lovely grey colored cat with expressive facial markings. Gemma is quiet and keeps to herself in the cat room, but welcomes a bit of attention. She likes to be brushed and petted, but for a short time. Gemma may not be best for young kids at this point, but probably waiting for the right family to show her love and bring out her social side. (approx DOB 11/1/16)
Julie
Julie is a female kitty about 1 ½ years old with light gray coloring. She has a beautiful, dense fluffy coat in medium length fur. Julie is a very sweet girl, but a little nervous and shy being new to the building. Julie was a stray, although we believe she was a pet that was abandoned and now needs her own forever home where she will be cherished. She was staying under the porch of a kind woman that cared for her until she could find her safety in our shelter. Julie had been spayed by her previous people, thankfully. She doesn’t seem to mind the other cats. Her coat will require regular brushing/combing to remain tangle free.

Long haired cats require regular combing/ brushing to remain tangle free- at least a few times a week is good. For now this sweet boy is looking handsome in his lion cut. His coat is a light orange/buff color with white on the tips of the feet. Kitty Gato is a super loving boy, who adores affection and is good with gentle kids.

She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms.
